Hello all:
No, he did not polish the barrels as they were perfect when I sent him the gun. The chambers were already 2 3/4" so they did not have to be lengthened. There was no rust or pitting anywhere on the gun both inside and out. The stock was also pristine.
All that I asked him to do was to bend the stock, open the chokes and place back on face. I did not want any lengthened forcing cones!
As I stated, the left barrel now has some very deep gouges in it in front of the chambers. I am concerned that if these marks are removed, the barrel will be too thin to shoot!
Thanks to all for your replies.
Stay well my frinds,
Franchi
